I just ordered the Steeda grill delete kit and was wondering if it is a good idea to spray the radiator flat black? Would it better the appearance and would it hurt the radiators cooling function?

That doesn't sound like it is a good idea to do that because I
think it will hurt the radiators cooling function by filling the
fins of the radiator with paint.Congrats on the Steeda grill
delete kit

honestly man i wouldn't worry about it. i know you think that the radiator really looks like 'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me', i though the same thing but you really can't see it once everything is in place. You see it now because your bending down looking directly into it but when your driving or just standing looking at your front end you really can't see the radiator.

Probably not a good idea. The grill delete looks good without having to do anything else. I have the same one you ordered and you barely notice the radiator...

It's only noticable if the sun/light is shining directly in... but that's rare and even then you won't see it inside your car.
looks beautiful normally
